Tooltips/In Map information #3

Closed BMPMS closed 5 years ago

BMPMS commented 5 years ago

Think about what information might be available when interacting with the map - ie tooltips.

BMPMS commented 5 years ago

Re: confirming the hex's and their position (long/lat) I could add a tooltip or have a separate panel (like zoom/moves) which changed on mouseover?

IanMayo commented 5 years ago

I suspect it may be a pain repeatedly waiting the second or so for the tooltip to appear.

A toggle mode for displaying the cell reference inside the cell would seem the ideal solution for debugging cell reference issues / verifying coordinates.

But, displaying the current cell in a side panel would deliver the same capability.

Either fine with me. Or I guess you could be smart and only show it when at a certain zoom level? Tooltips tend to be pretty instant but could also get in the way.

We just spoke. We agreed that we would show hex coordinates and lat/long in the cell. In the future we may wish to also show the other characteristics for that cell.

I'm happy for you to decide on a scale/zoom level beneath which the above isn't shown, if necessary.
